    If we vote for Brexit, I'm going to have a very sore bottom from the amounts I've punted. I suppose, as an exporter, the fall in Sterling will be a silver lining and, like AtW says, the real wealth comes from exporters Vote Brexit for real wealth!

      Living and working in another EU country isn't one for the rich.

      The young EU citizens I know who have worked in the UK and the young British citizens who have worked abroad haven't been rich.

      Young people will live in conditions older people will not put up with e.g. house shares, hostels, tents.

      Oh and the baby boomers voting for Brexit are voting for themselves. Have a look at the increasing number of older people who have to flat share in private rentals due to relationship breakdown.

        Only the rich can live in the EU
        And of course there's no accommodation costs in the UK because housing is so cheap. Are we on the same planet?
        The UK is by far the most expensive country in the EU.

            Yeah, these young people are insane.

              The Tories have far more interest (Murdoch media n co) in seeing that through than the EU.

                Fees for Scots - free. Fees for Northern Ireland - £3600/year. It's only England and Wales that get it in the spuds.

                Absolutely nothing to stop our MPs and Parliament implimenting these.

                On the flip side, the young can kiss goodbye to ever owning a house, trouble starting a family (or at least providing for it), and adecent job.

                The young must be mad for voting Remian.

I do get the distinct impression that boomers are thinking about their children, and the youth are think about visa free travel and a bowl of rainbow filled breakfast cereal.

                  So credit, where credit is due boomers. If you are for BREXIT, I thank you.

                  What difference does it really make to them save for the small minority that want to downsize? Cheaper housing for all - yay.

                    Approx 10% of the working population.

                      So it might be a bit harder for them? If they have the necessary skills then I can't see why they'd be precluded.
